The folks are getting a divorce- yay! Dad鈥檚 an abusive alcoholic, mom is good and deserves so much better. Problem is, my mom, brother and I are being forced to leave the property and getting cut off. I knew this would come but we were counting on actually having a plan and money saved up, but we don鈥檛. This is very sudden and scary and on top of all the bad shit that鈥檚 happening I have to say good bye to my babies, my sweet angels that I love so much. I can鈥檛 even express how much my heart aches right now, I鈥檓 just not prepared for this at all.
We have over 50 chickens that we need to adopt out/sell. Once they鈥檙e safe we need to figure out a plan for 4 horses who are my mom鈥檚 whole world. She thinks she needs to sell them, but these guys are everything to her, they鈥檙e the reason she鈥檚 still here today. I have a friend nearby who may be able to take them until we鈥檙e on our feet and can find a place to have them, but I haven鈥檛 asked her yet. Like I said, this all happened the last two days. I鈥檓 so overwhelmed and stressed. After we get the horses taken care of, then we鈥檙e going to try and get help from local organizations (social services I guess?) to get out of here and find a cheap place.
I鈥檓 obviously keeping Rex, I don鈥檛 need to tell y鈥檃ll how important she is, and she鈥檚 cheap and easy to keep. Tatem (fluffy chaos) is staying with me too because same deal. Together they cost all of $20 every 2-3 months which I can manage no problem. I should technically find a home for my snakey, Cornelius, but if I can keep him I will. I鈥檓 probably moving in with my friend in NYC for now.
My dear, amazing, absolutely wonderful friend @friedgeppetto is going to kindly take in my pidgies (Piper, Carrie, Peter, lil baby) and our very favorite chickens until we can find a place to have them! Send them love and thanks if you get a chance for being so good, it makes my heart fill up with warmth that they鈥檙e willing to help. The birds that are going to them are: my 6 modern games (Flint, Barbar, Killian, Letitia, Dwayne, Laylani), Hazel, Momo (Sweeney鈥檚 baby), Tomtom (Barbar niece), Kiki (I鈥檇 rather not but she鈥檚 bonded to the latter two), Max, Wade, Pansy, my mom鈥檚 6 bantam babies (Butternut, Filbert, Tallow, Hickory, Praline, and Litchi), the weird little serama guy Ferguson, and Capers (Millet鈥檚 daughter). Buckley, Sweeney, and two elderly rescues we have will probably also be going to them but it鈥檚 iffy.
Some of the bird鈥檚 already have homes lines up like my bachelor silkie trio (they鈥檙e going to become breeders, they鈥檙e gonna be stoked). A friend is taking the two bantam americauna pullets, Dali and Dori. Many of my brother鈥檚 orloffs already have homes but not all.
So, here鈥檚 a list of all the chickies:
If you鈥檙e interested in any of them excluding the ones mentioned (or if you are interested in the ones mentioned I guess go for it and maybe you鈥檇 be a good match) dm me on discord (Quail#8005) or email me at [email protected]
We live in upstate NY and are now very limited on money so shipping is only possible if the other party pays for the cost, meeting up is subject to what we can afford in fuel. I鈥檒l do my best.
I鈥檒l be posting a full list of all the birds and their information, I just gotta get up to date pictures.
So yeah, life鈥檚 falling apart. I鈥檓 hurting so much I鈥檓 numb. But at least we鈥檙e getting out of here鈥ight?
